2016 MITSUBISHI LANCER SEDAN & SPORTBACK GET STYLING UPDATES

New GTS and ES Pricelines added to sedan lineup

Mississauga, ON (October 6, 2015) – The Mitsubishi Lancer, the bestselling Mitsubishi Motors model in Canada and an IIHS Top

Safety Pick, is restyled for 2016 and arrives in dealerships next month with two new sedan pricelines, interior changes and the

latestgeneration Continuously Variable Transmission.

Lancer sedan and Sportback models receive an updated, fresh exterior look with a redesigned front fascia and all frontwheeldrive

2016 models receive, as an option, the latest CVT8 transmission for improved fuel efficiency, smoother operation and better

acceleration plus automatic air conditioning (except Lancer DE); CVT8 is standard on Lancer AllWheelControl (AWC) sedan

pricelines.

With a starting price below $15,000 for the sedan and under $20,000 for the fivedoor Sportback, Lancer ranks among the best

automotive values in Canada, and offers the industry’s best warranty – five years, 100,000 km comprehensive and 10 years, 160,000

km for powertrain.

For 2016, two new Lancer sedan value propositions arrive, each available with Mitsubishi Motors’ superb AWC system.

powerassisted rack and pinion steering, paddle shifters, rear stabilizer bar and 16inch alloy wheels for an MSRP of $20,998 –

arguably the best allwheel drive (with CVT) sedan value on Canadian roads.

litre DOHC engine and is offered as a frontwheeldrive and AWC model.
